Groomsmen gifts?

OI know I saw a thread on this the other day but I can't find it. Can anyone give me some nice ideas for groomsmen gifts or post what you got for them?
TIA

Re: Groomsmen gifts?

I have pics in my All About the Bridal Party album, but we bought them each individual gifts according to their tastes.

We got our Best Man engraved cuff links from Tiffany, a Johnnie Walker scotch sampler for one, cigar sampler for two of them, a monogrammed leather traveling case for another, and a monogrammed steak iron and other grilling accessories for the one who loves his barbecue.

Good luck!

Re: Groomsmen gifts?

We bought the BM and GM each a stein that says Best Man or Groomsmen on one side and the other side is their name engraved on it.

For my brother who is an usher, we decided to buy him some shot glasses from LI and a bottle of his favorite liquor.

Re: Groomsmen gifts?

FH bought each of his GMs a piece of autographed memorabilia for each GM from their favorite sports team.

Other ideas we had:
-Beer of the month club
-A share of stock from a company that's significant to each GM (there is a website online where you can buy them and they frame the stock certificate in this nice plaque).
-Tickets to a Red Sox game (all the GMs are from Boston...sorry, ladies!) and personalized RS jerseys...
-Tickets to a Patriots game and FH would pay for the entire tailgate, drinks, etc...

Most of our BMs have been in a TON of weddings, so we didn't want to give them really bridal-party-ish gifts (since most of them already have a lot of that stuff).
